Is rationalism a humanism?
#17
RE: Is rationalism a humanism?
MarcusA:
And convince me if you can that the colour green is the colour green.


Simon Moon:
The color green is the label humans put on a specific wavelength (490 - 570 nm) of energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. Our eyes detect that wavelength as the color green. People with colorblindness will not see green like people with normal eyesight, but they still detect the same wavelength of light.

Other animals and insects, will see the wavelength of 490 - 570 nm differently than we do.

But no matter what, the wavelength range of 490 - 570 nm still exists.

And humans, will continue to label that wavelength as green.

Asketh and the Lord G. Biv provideth.
Sending forth a messenger.

Blessed be brother Moon.
Many thanks for waxing tincture.
